When I was little, my dad had a real POS, wooden trailer-sailor that was such a pig, he named it the "Sea Cow".
He didn't live long enough to actually put the name on the transom, but we all knew what it was called. Eventually the boat deteriorated and was crushed at the local landfill.
Now that I have my first sailboat, a '92 Capri 14.2, which is definitely no speed demon, I thought it would be nice to name it the "Sea Cow II", in honor of my father and his lifelong love of sailing. I didn't want to go with just "Sea Cow" because that was his boat, so I thought "Sea Cow II" was more fitting. I also figure it will have people thinking, "There's a Sea Cow 1 ?!?! " Could be good for a laugh.
I've already ordered a manatee sticker for the transom, which should arrive in about week, and now I just have to find a place that makes stick-on lettering for the name.
